1. It doesn’t exactly say that the title will be. Probably “Mir vs. Nogueira 2”, but it really doesn’t specify.

2. That’s going to hilariously confuse a hell of a lot of drunks in bars across the country.

You know what though

for being twins they actually look a lot different.

That is true

One looks 50, one looks 60, but still, as a lover of the drink myself, when it gets a little blurry and in a dark sports bar, someone’s gonna think “that Nogueira dude is fighting twice! He’s an animal!”

by BVandDietPepsi on Jul 19, 2010 11:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hahaha.

That will surely happen many times.

I've always thought they look quite different.

When Big Nog was younger (before his face got smashed in) they looked more similar. After Cro Cop, Cain, Boooobuu Saaapppuu, Mir ect. his face deformed into what we see today.

I used to dream of being on that show

when I was a kid.
GUTS was also a dream show.

I would have put the Nogueiras on one side and then had them face Mir and Bader on the other side. Really push the brothers thing, and puts Mir a bit more front and center on the other side.

Ribbit.

That would be too much Nogueira for one side of a poster to handle.

by HarmlessNinja on Jul 20, 2010 3:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

they're really struggling to find non-confusing names

for the twins. Minotauro and Minotoro are just the worst for English speakers. the meanings are totally distinct in Portuguese but in English they’re indistinguishable.
Frankly Big Nog and Little Nog are the definitive mnemonics for them.

"Presented by Halo Reach"

I hope Frank Mir explains to me in detail how Master Chief would be a great cage fighter because he shows all the signs of the Warrior.

“It’s the start of round three and Nogueira has barely broken a sweat! That injury on his back seems to have come back after disappearing in the second round though, Joe.” – Goldie

The Nogs don’t really need a tag team but it would work wonders for Sokoudjou/Phil Baroni.

by HarmlessNinja on Jul 20, 2010 3:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

Both Nog twins look like they're 85

But Lil ’Nog looks older than Big ’Nog in that poster. Airbrushing on Big Nog perhaps?

The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.

I hope they haven’t sunk that low. Removing Hardy’s tattoo was bad enough.

Man, I wish the UFC would have a card like this with both Nogs, both Ruas, and even both Matt and Mark Hughes. Talk about a mindf*ck for the casuals!

While you're at it

Throw in the Lauzons, Diazes, Overeems, Guidas, Shamrocks, Emelianenkos and some Gracies.

Sounds good to me, but would they get rid of a title challenger like that? I supposed there’d be time to rebuild given Rua’s injury and the existing lineup of challengers (I just know Couture will get a shot with another win after Toney).

by HarmlessNinja on Jul 20, 2010 3:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

If Mir finishes Nog again I’ll be a sad panda.

by Tats16 on Jul 20, 2010 1:04 AM EDT reply actions   1 recs

Me too

Unfortunately I think it’s a pretty decent possibility. Big Nog just looks extremely slow and easy to hit nowadays, and his granite chin of old who used to be his safety net seems to have significantly weakened also.

by Asmo on Jul 20, 2010 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Totally unrelated

But MMA Junkie says that contrary to their earlier report there will be a prelim special featuring Mitrione/Beltran and Dollaway/Doerksen.

The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.

this is one of the worst recent UFC posters.

the last Dream poster was incredible.

Such a crappy matchup.

Big Nog vs Mir II is so pointless.

I hope little nog can show some flare.

I dont like that poster. They need to have the Nog Brothers centered in the picture with Mir and Bader in the distance.

Both Nogs lose?
